'Kidney neurotoxicant'??

This isn't drug related, but it does provide an apalling example of just how bad health journalism can be in general, even when prohibition isn't involved. The article at the link begins: "If you thought ‘natural’ and ‘organic’ products are the thing u need to turn to in a world full of chemicals, well… you’d better think twice." And in the next paragraph: "Not only is this chemical thought to be responsible for cancer, but it could also be a kidney neurotoxicant and respiratory toxicant among other things." WTF?!?

I just sent this letter to their editorial staff:

The quality of this article is inexcusable. Consider the opening: "If you thought ‘natural’ and ‘organic’ products are the thing u need to turn to in a world full of chemicals, well… you’d better think twice."

If u thought it was a good idea to hire teenage girls to write articles and send them in by SMS, well... you'd better think twice.

And then in the second paragraph: "Not only is this chemical thought to be responsible for cancer, but it could also be a kidney neurotoxicant and respiratory toxicant among other things." What the heck is a "kidney neurotoxicant"? Do you have any fact-checking staff at all? Or editors?

I'm certainly going to take anything I read on efluxmedia.com with a large grain of salt from now on.
